How old was Abel the son of Adam when he died?

Question

In Cain and Abel, how old was Abel when he died? The scriptures do not seem to give direct details to such, but does anyone have a clue from other sources? Reference if possible please.

Answer 1

The Bible account does not give us his exact age at the time of his murder, but his approximate age can be deduced. Since the Bible records nothing in the way of history between the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden and their producing of their first two sons, Cain and Abel, it is reasonable to conclude that the boys were born within the space of a few years after their parents’ fall into sin. But as for the next-recorded events, leading to the death of Abel, it is written that these did not take place until after “the expiration of some time.” (Gen. 4:3) How much time?

Well, the third recorded son of Adam and his wife Eve was born shortly after Abel’s death and when Adam was 130 years of age. (Gen. 5:3) At the time of Seth’s birth Eve said: “God has appointed another seed in place of Abel, because Cain killed him.” It is not at all likely that Eve would have said this if a great many years had intervened; she evidently desired a son to replace the murdered Abel, and so the birth of Seth must have occurred shortly after Abel’s death. It is possible, then, that Abel may have been as much as a hundred years old at the time of his martyrdom.

Answer 2

When Was Abel Born

Answer 3

Are you that dumb? Maybe you think his wife was an Ape? He married his sister... case closed! Christians do not have to defend their religion or God. You asked the question...... If you don't want or like the answers... stop asking questions! (Level one's are so ignorant..) Genesis 4:17-24 Cain married his sister or other blood relative. As mentioned, Gen_4:3 allows time for a population increase, and Gen_5:4 specifically states that Adam had sons and daughters. Marriage of close relatives was not forbidden then (nor was it genetically risky).

Answer 4

Adam was created not in Nisan because Nisan was the seventh month the first month was Etanim (tisri) is between sept an october, later Nisan(Abib) become the first of the month Exodus 13) and tisri become the seventh one. and the years is 4026 BC

Answer 5

Answer 6

Dates for Cain and Abel are Unknown....
Here though is what I was able (no pun intended) to find

GENEALOGY OF JESUS

Section One - Adam to Abraham

The dating system starts with the creation as year zero. See the introduction to Jesus' genealogy to learn more about the dating system.

FIRST GENERATION
1. The earth was created on 25 March, 4001 BC. Adam was created on Saturday the first day of Nisan in the year zero which was 31 March 4001 BC. Eve was more "made" than created so her date is unknown. She could have been formed on the sixth day or later but it is not worth arguing about. Adam and Eve were married that year in the Garden of Eden. Having been created by God to be perfect and to live for eternity they lost that position when they disobeyed God’s command. Because of their sin they were condemned to die. Adam and Eve were 130 years old when Seth was born. Adam died at the age of 930 years in the year 930. Adam and Eve had the following sons plus other sons and daughters:
